Maximal safe resection is the goal of insular glioma surgery. The combination of intraoperative augmented reality (AR) diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) fiber tracking with fluorescein dye (F) helps achieve this goal throughout a microscope-based visualization of the tumor and white matter fiber tracts. The aim of the present video article was to show the technical key aspects of DTI-F microscope-based AR-assisted surgery during the gross-total resection of an insular Berger-Sanai type I+IV high-grade glioma in a 63-year-old patient, performed through a pterional transsylvian approach.

Abstract
Maximal safe resection is the goal of insular glioma surgery. The combination of intraoperative augmented reality (AR) diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) fiber tracking with fluorescein dye (F) helps achieve this goal throughout a microscope-based visualization of the tumor and white matter fiber tracts. The aim of the present video article was to show the technical key aspects of DTI-F microscope-based AR-assisted surgery during the gross-total resection of an insular Berger-Sanai type I+IV high-grade glioma in a 63-year-old patient, performed through a pterional transsylvian approach.
